Story
After a prank lands him in serious trouble, Malcolm Hernandez, a 16-year-old boy, is shipped off to live with his grandparents while his mother attempts to save him from expulsion and criminal charges. Malcolm believes the stay will be easy - a vacation with milk and cookies and tales from the past. His hopes, however, are shattered when he bumps heads with his grandfather, Ronald O'Donnell - a stern, violent man with a sinister past. Ronald plans on disciplining his grandson in order to "save" him from himself. He is not afraid of abusing him, either.

The night uncovers all we wish not to see. A troubled man enters a dusky park before sunset. A young woman follows, hidden in shadow. Both have returned to the park to take back something the past has stolen from them, to make right six long years of suffering, and to find justice or perhaps redemption - or maybe they'll settle for some old-fashioned revenge. But something evil is alive and awake in those woods, creatures that care nothing for human motivations. They’re driven by their own insatiable need: a ravenous, bottomless hunger.

The best part about a book, is that moment you can put it down, and say at least that can't happen in real life, until now. The Uninvited will leave you checking your doors, locking your windows and skipping the weekend camping trip. Meet the stranger, a killer who is unbiased about who it chooses to be the victim, and never tires of the killing. If Dexter and Leatherface had a baby, The Uninvited would be their offspring.

it's a brutal and compelling read. Definitely not for the faint hearted, with depravity, violence and gore although it's not gratuitous. A great exploration of what humans are capable of when pushed to breaking point. Will read more from this author.

One of the best books I’ve read in a long time
After being targeted by a bunch of racist things are going to a lake cabin Ryan and Alexa swear revenge for the death of their five-year-old daughter Lucia. Only to find out at the breaking in the leaders parents home that the parents neo-Nazis as well and there’s more people there than they bargained for. This book and the resolution to the problem with our original and so well thought out I loved it. I thought the narrator did a good job. I just wish they would have explained why the neo-Nazis were targeting them it wasn’t until the middle of the book I found out that Lucia and Alexa were Spanish. The narrator I thought did an outstanding job and I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the underdog winning the day and the bad guys getting what they deserve. This book just proves when it all comes down to it we’re all monsters.

Law of Retaliation
This book was so good. I highly recommend any books by Jon Athan if you like this genre. He is very creative with the deaths. Keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the book because you know that something is going to happen. Paul D. Henry did a good job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I am not a fan of titling reviews..
I had high hopes for this, especially because it seemed to have everything I love in a book & no deal breaker dislikes..I’m all about a story fits perfectly into the suspense/horror/thriller genres but I don’t enjoy the commonly repeated police procedural plot lines..because they’re all too similar in my opinion & call me weird but if I’m not genuinely creeped out or in suspense then I tend to lose interest. So with that said, it’s not an easy task to find books I thoroughly enjoy so I was initially really excited for this one & considering the cost, I decided to purchase it as opposed to using a credit. The story itself wasn’t so bad, I do believe it lost some momentum about mid way through but what really ruined it for me was the narrator..his lack of enthusiasm & inability to truly take on each character’s persona, made it so difficult to listen & actually enjoy! I currently have 43mins left & I honestly have no desire to finish.

I can't imagine the pain of losing a child. Imagine witnessing the murder of your own child. How far would you go for revenge? Especially after the murderer gets found not guilty in court.
Yep, I think we can all agree that a parent would go to extreme lengths to seek revenge.
especially if the murderer is a nazi.
This is what I love about Jon Athan. He hits raw nerves that people can relate to

How far would you go to revenge the death of your child. Luckily most won't have to find the answer themselves.
Paul D. Henry's performance is fantastic.
